Default coilover ?

I just got back into the Honda game after 5 plus years and looking for a nice street/drag coilover. It’s a 93 civic si. Looking towards a spring rate like 8/8 or 8/10 or even 10/10. Does anyone know of a coilover that’s around that rate on the shelf or would I have to get them customized. Thanks

There are ready made drag setup coilovers. But rear springs on those are like 14-18KG/mm.

I don't think anyone makes a coilover with your suggested rates.

PIC, Fortune autoor AMR are build to order setups. Be easy enough to go with those.

I'd suggest Koni/GC. But...I wouldn't recommend 10K rears on stock Koni yellows for a civic. Unless you're fine with being tossed around a little...and are fine with a conservative drop.

yea I see the drag ones but I’m trying to drive it on the street also lol. I found a site that has most of the rates so I’m narrowing it down now. Thanks
